- Ensure season and episode numbers are properly converted to integers with error handling
- Remove zero-padding from debug log format for season/episode numbers
- Add validation to filter out relations with unsaved episodes that have no primary key
- Add proper logging for skipped relations when episode is not saved to database
These changes address potential crashes when API returns string values instead of integers
and prevent database errors when bulk creation operations fail silently due to conflicts.
Fixes issue #770
- M3U and EPG URLs now correctly preserve non-standard HTTPS ports (e.g., `:8443`) when accessed behind reverse proxies that forward the port in headers — `get_host_and_port()` now properly checks `X-Forwarded-Port` header before falling back to other detection methods (Fixes#704)
- M3U stream URLs now use `build_absolute_uri_with_port()` for consistency with EPG and logo URLs, ensuring uniform port handling across all M3U file URLs
Use rsplit('|', 1) instead of split('|', 1) to split from the right,
preserving any pipe characters in category names (e.g., "PL | BAJKI",
"EN | MOVIES"). This ensures the category_type is correctly extracted
as the last segment while keeping the full category name intact.
Fixes MovieFilter, SeriesFilter, and UnifiedContentViewSet category parsing.
Replace hardcoded localhost:6379 values throughout codebase with environment-based configuration. Add REDIS_PORT support and allow REDIS_URL override for external Redis services. Configure Celery broker/result backend to use Redis settings with environment variable overrides.
Closes#762
- Add _cleanup_orphaned_crontab() helper function
- Delete old crontab when disabling backup schedule
- Delete old crontab when schedule settings change
- Prevents database bloat from unused CrontabSchedule records
- Row 1: Frequency, Day (if weekly), Hour, Minute, Period (if 12h)
- Row 2: Retention, Save button
- Use wrap=nowrap to keep time selectors on same row
- Set CrontabSchedule timezone to system timezone for accurate scheduling
- Replace time TextInput with hour/minute Select dropdowns for cleaner UX
- Remove UTC/local time conversion logic (handled by Celery)
- Add tests for timezone functionality in simple and advanced modes
Updated create_backup to use the system's configured timezone for backup
filenames instead of always using UTC. This makes filenames more intuitive
and matches users' local time expectations.
Changes:
- Import pytz and CoreSettings
- Get system timezone from CoreSettings.get_system_time_zone()
- Convert current UTC time to system timezone for filename timestamp
- Fallback to UTC if timezone conversion fails
- Internal metadata timestamps remain UTC for consistency
Example:
- System timezone: America/New_York (EST)
- Created at 3:00 PM EST
- Old filename: dispatcharr-backup-2025.12.09.20.00.00.zip (UTC time)
- New filename: dispatcharr-backup-2025.12.09.15.00.00.zip (local time)
This aligns with the timezone-aware scheduling already implemented.
The list_backups function was creating timezone-naive datetime objects,
which caused the frontend to incorrectly interpret timestamps.
Now uses datetime.UTC when creating timestamps from file modification time
(consistent with other usage in this file on lines 186, 216), so the ISO
string includes timezone info (+00:00). This allows the browser to properly
convert UTC timestamps to the user's local timezone for display.
Before: Backend sends "2025-12-09T14:12:44" (ambiguous timezone)
After: Backend sends "2025-12-09T14:12:44+00:00" (explicit UTC)
The frontend's toLocaleString() will now correctly convert to local time.
Frontend changes:
- Add advanced mode toggle switch for cron expressions
- Show cron expression input with helpful examples when enabled
- Display format hints: "minute hour day month weekday"
- Provide common examples (daily, weekly, every 6 hours, etc.)
- Conditionally render simple or advanced scheduling UI
- Support switching between simple and advanced modes
Backend changes:
- Add cron_expression to schedule settings (SETTING_KEYS, DEFAULTS)
- Update get_schedule_settings to include cron_expression
- Update update_schedule_settings to handle cron_expression
- Extend _sync_periodic_task to parse and use cron expressions
- Parse 5-part cron format: minute hour day_of_month month_of_year day_of_week
- Create CrontabSchedule from cron expression or simple frequency
- Add validation and error handling for invalid cron expressions
This addresses maintainer feedback for "custom scheduler (cron style) for more control".
Users can now schedule backups with full cron flexibility beyond daily/weekly.
